Drone Showreel
RePL Certified Drone Pilot
Yes, every single shot in this video is a drone shot. Even the ones that look like a dolly. Drones don't need to be high in the sky to get a great shot. Low shots and shots that look up can be just as interesting and dynamic as those shots from way up in the sky.
I've been flying drones since 2015. In 2017 I became RePL licensed to fly drones commercially up to 25Kg in weight. Back then, decent drone footage required a big drone with two operators and a cinema camera swinging from of it.
These days however, the practicality, safety and cinematic features of small drones combined with high-quality video means the big drones are obsolete. Now it's purely up the skill level of the pilot and a cinematic eye for creative aerial filmmaking.
I'm currently flying the DJI Air 3 drone. This drone has two lenses - 24mm for wide shots and 70mm for close up and creative visual parallax effects. At only 700g, the drone is discrete, packed with safety features and the camera is amazing. The camera offers 10-bit video in log format in 4K up to 100fps (slow motion) and 48-megapixel still photography in raw and jpeg formats.
